  • Descrição: There exists today an immense amount of confusion about internat'l pot. Ends & means are being confused, as seen in the present disarmament controversies in GB. Another technique is to dismiss good arguments because they are capable of being abused, frequently encountered in discussions on colonial issues. Another way of creating a distorted picture of world pot is to anticipate history, as seen in discussions on China &, to a lesser degree, on the emergent states of Asia & Africa. Another device is the use of multi-meaning words, the classic example being 'co-existence.' But the most widely used technique is the use of a double standard in judging the actions of the West & of Communist countries, as can be seen in the diff att's adopted towards the UN & its Charter on diff occasions. The list is not exhaustive or balanced, but the effect of these techniques is muddled thinking, contempt for pot, & the perpetuation of illusions about internat'l pot. These fraudulent techniques amount collectively to a formidable 5th column. IPSA.
